The White Collar Competition...

England for the 2018 world cup - yeah! Actually, I'm not that bothered. For all I care the tournament can go to Russia or Albania. But what I do care about is this image; David Beckham, Gordon Brown and Wayne Rooney - what a trio! It must have been a relief for Brown to get out of Westminster for a while, it's currently full of people who's after his expensive expenses scalp. 

So this picture, what makes it worthy of a mentioning on this fine blog? The collars, good people,the collars of these three white shirts are very exciting and interesting. Wayne in his Harry Hill oversized collar, Brown in his cut-away banker wanker version and finally Beckham who has gone for a modern and trendy button-down collar of sort. 

Also the ties are of interest. Gordon in a blue (?)and simple one, Wayne's is massive, stripey and OTT, a bit like Rooney himself. And David, who again acts as the stylish one, has gone for a black tie, which apparently is back, with a nice structure and texture to it; simple but sophisticated. But then again - his competition on this day was very limited...

WAYNE FOOKING ROONEY.

Not that you need it but here it is – proof that the Ray Ban Wayfarer is not only on it’s way out but already approaching the stratosphere; Wayne Rooney.

It’s too early for (another) comeback and if it ever comes it will not, I repeat not, be spearheaded by Shrek. I can clearly picture the couple discussing his choice of specs. Because don’t go and fool yourself into thinking that the Ray Ban’s have anything to do with Wayne – it is, of course, all the work of Coleen McLoughlin, or Mrs Rooney as she is known these married days.


- “Just try them on darling, you’ll look great, I promise”

- “No way. These are for poofs. Rio Ferdinand will laugh at me”

- “Oh, come on. Did you not read my column in last weeks Grazia? (or is it Closer, OK!, Heat or Now?) They are the sunglasses to wear – just like last summer and the one before that. But you should really have a pair in fluorescent pink or yellow, dear”

- “Are you having a bubble bath? I’m not showing my crunched-up face down the pub in pink sunglasses. I’ll get kicked in the face!”

- “You already have been, darling”

- “Yes OK, you’re right, but I’m getting the black ones. Are you sure they’re cool?”

- “Yees, all high class celebs, Whoreditch wankers and T4 presenters wear them. And so will you!”

- “OK. What’s for dinner tonight?”
